> I built the CLC MillCreek with 1/4" luan.

Did you have any problems getting the boat together due to the supposedly less flexible 1/4" plywood? Have read that the 1/4" luaun can be a lot more difficult to bend.

> My MillCreek is overweight, as per the spec sheet.

Do you know what the spec weight was compared to your actual construction weight?

Thanks for the input.
